- Bringing together tracks from Ryo Murakami, Aybee and more, the selection will come out on the US jock's new label, Boards.
Fred P has announced a new compilation series called Selected, the first edition of which will come out in January on his new label, Boards.
The collection pulls together material from mostly unfamiliar names—DeepJust AQuaBeaT, Bassik Grooove and Bobby O'Donnell—alongside a couple of established heads like Ryo Murakami, Aybee (as Orion 70) and Fred P himself, whose "N.Y. (Selected Dub)," a reshape of an old jazz tune, rounds out the compilation.
"In the early days it was difficult to afford more than one or two records—I would buy compilations because the value was greater and I was exposed to artist that I might not have known about otherwise," he says. "When I think of compilations I think of Mix The Vibe, Soul Of Science, Trust The DJ and of course DJ-Kicks. I learned a great deal from these series over the years and developed my own ideas based on what I love to hear—thus Selected was born."
The first Selected compilation is due out in January 2014 on Boards, a new sub-label of Fred P's own Soul People Music. To date it's only put out two 12-inches: a spilt EP from Fred P and Jose Cabrera, and the Gradiva EP by October.
